The Bible Show is a weekly podcast produced by South Florida pastors, Sam and Will. This podcast offers captivating discussions about various passages of the Bible -- examining their historical context, their relevance for modern life, and how these ancient stories point our hearts and minds to Jesus.
In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will unpack Genesis 18, where God Himself shows up—yes, physically—to visit Abraham. As Abraham scrambles to prepare an extravagant feast, we discover that this divine encounter isn’t just about hospitality… it’s about a promise that’s finally about to be fulfilled. With Sarah listening behind the tent flap, God declares that she will have a son within a year. Her response? Laughter—tinged with disbelief, pain, and longing. But instead of rebuke, God gently draws near, affirming that nothing is too hard for the Lord. This episode explores the deep emotional tension of waiting on God’s promises, the burden of barrenness, and the beauty of a God who meets us in our doubt. Sam and Will bring cultural, historical, and theological depth to this powerful moment—highlighting how God's grace pursues even the most broken and overlooked hearts.
In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will tackle one of the most pivotal and, let’s be honest, uncomfortable chapters in Genesis—God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 17. This is where God introduces the sign of circumcision, marking His promise to Abraham’s descendants. But why this sign? What did it mean in the ancient world? And how does it connect to the gospel today? As Abraham reaches 99 years old, he wrestles with God's repeated promises, now waiting 24 years for the son he was promised. But when God finally confirms that the covenant will come through Sarah—not Hagar—Abraham laughs. What does this reveal about his faith? And how does God respond? Join us as we unpack the deep symbolism of circumcision, the significance of Abraham and Sarah’s name changes, and how God’s plan is always bigger and better than we expect. This episode will challenge and encourage you as we see how this ancient covenant points directly to Jesus and the transformation of the heart.
In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will explore the dramatic and deeply human story of Genesis 16. As Abraham and Sarah struggle with waiting on God's promise, they take matters into their own hands—leading to tension, heartbreak, and divine intervention. What happens when we try to force God's timing? How does Hagar, an Egyptian servant, become the first person in Scripture to encounter "the angel of the Lord"? And what does it mean that God not only hears her but sees her? Join us as we unpack the cultural context, the lasting consequences of this decision, and the incredible hope that comes from a God who pursues the broken and outcast.
In this powerful episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will dive into Genesis 15, one of the most striking and mysterious passages in Scripture. Why does God tell Abraham to cut animals in half? What does it mean when God Himself moves between the carcasses? And how does this ancient covenant reveal the foundation of salvation by grace? This episode unpacks the deep symbolism behind God’s promise to Abraham, showing how it directly points to Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Sam and Will break down the historical context of ancient covenants, the radical nature of God taking the full burden of the promise, and why this passage is central to understanding faith, righteousness, and God's never-failing love. If you’ve ever wondered how the Old Testament connects to the gospel, this episode will blow your mind!
In this action-packed episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will take a deep dive into Genesis 14—a chapter often overlooked but rich with meaning. Abram embarks on a daring rescue mission to save Lot from captivity, leading a small force against powerful empires. Along the way, we uncover surprising connections between this ancient battle and the heart of the gospel. Who is Melchizedek, the mysterious priest-king who blesses Abram? How does this moment foreshadow Jesus Christ? And what can we learn from Abram’s refusal to accept the riches of Sodom? Join us as we unpack history, theology, and the timeless truth that God is our shield and our greatest reward.
